An upper cover of a cover body of a high-frequency high-speed transmission cable module is provided, including a main body and a heat dissipation block. Two end portions in the length direction of the main body are respectively defined as a first end portion and a second end portion, and the first end portion is provided with a through hole.

As such, the present invention can use the heat dissipation block to directly transfer heat to the heat dissipation fins without indirectly passing through the main body, so the heat dissipation efficiency is greatly improved.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to a high-frequency, high speed transmission cable module, and more particularly, to a high-frequency, high speed transmission cable module with high heat dissipation efficiency and the upper cover of the cover body thereof.
2. The Prior Arts
Small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver, four-passage small form-factor pluggable (QSFP) transceiver, double-density four-passage small package pluggable (QSFP-DD) transceiver, or octal small form-factor pluggable (OSFP) transceiver are all hot-swappable cable components for high-frequency high-speed transmission cable module.
The known high-frequency high-speed transmission cable module includes a cover body and a control module. A second end portion of the cover body is used for accommodating one end of a cable therein, and the control module is arranged inside a first end portion of the cover body. As the control module of the high-frequency high-speed transmission cable module will generate heat during operation, a heat dissipation block is arranged inside the first end portion of the cover body. Moreover, the first end portion of the cover body is arranged in a casing, the heat generated by the control module during operation can be directly transferred to the heat dissipation block, the heat of the heat dissipation block will be transferred to the cover body, the heat of the cover body will be transferred to a plurality of heat dissipation fins of the casing, and finally, the heat dissipation fins will discharge the heat to the outside, to achieve the effect of heat dissipation.
However, the conventional heat dissipation method is to use the heat dissipation block to transfer heat to the heat dissipation fins of the casing indirectly through the cover body, so the heat dissipation efficiency is limited. The total data rate of the high-frequency high-speed transmission cable module includes 200G, 400G and 800G. The higher the total data rate, the higher the heat generated when the control module operates. For high-frequency high-speed transmission cable modules with a total data rate of 200G or 400G, the conventional heat dissipation methods can still sustain the control module and one end of the cable at an appropriate temperature because the heat generated by the control module is relatively low. Appropriate temperature can prevent the IC chip of the control module from reducing the working efficiency, increasing the bit error rate (BER) and decreasing the transmission rate of the cable. However, for the high-frequency high-speed transmission cable module with a total data rate of 800G, the conventional heat dissipation means are not enough to maintain the control module and one end of the cable at the appropriate temperature because the heat generated by the control module is relatively high, and the temperature of the control module and one end of the cable is easy to be too high, resulting in a decrease in the working efficiency of the IC chip of the control module, an increase in the bit error rate, and a decrease in the transmission speed of the cable.

 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
The accompanying drawings are included to provide a further understanding of the invention, and are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification. The drawings illustrate embodiments of the invention and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention.
FIG. 1-3 are respectively a perspective view, an exploded view and a cross-sectional view of the high-frequency high-speed transmission cable module of the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 1-3 , the present invention provides a high-frequency high-speed transmission cable module, which includes a cover body 2 and a control module 3. The cover body 2 includes an upper cover 10 and a lower cover 20. The upper cover 10 includes a main body 11 and a heat dissipation block 12. The two end portions of the length direction of the main body 11 respectively are defined as a first end portion 111 and a second end portion 112, the two ends of the length direction of the lower cover 20 are respectively defined as a first end portion 21 and a second end portion 22, the first end portion 111 of the main body 11 and the first end portion 21 of the lower cover 20 together form a first end portion 201 of the cover body 2, and the second end portion 112 of the main body 11 and the second end portion 22 of the lower cover 20 together form a second end portion 202 of the cover body 2. The second end portion 202 of the cover body 2 is used for accommodating an end of a cable (not shown) therein. The first end portion 111 of the main body 11 is disposed with a through hole 113, and the heat dissipation block 12 is embedded in the through hole 113 and exposed on the top surface of the first end portion 111 of the main body 11. The control module 3 is disposed inside the first end portion 201 of the cover body 2 and is located below the heat dissipation block 12.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 , in actual use, the first end portion 201 of the cover body 2 is disposed in a casing 1 such that the heat dissipation block 12 contacts a plurality of heat dissipation fins 101 of the casing 1.
The heat generated during the operation of the control module 3 will be transferred to the heat dissipation block 12, then the heat of the heat dissipation block 12 will be transferred to the heat dissipation fins 101, and finally the heat dissipation fins 101 will discharge the heat to achieve the effect of heat dissipation. Compared with the conventional technology, the present invention can use the heat dissipation block 12 to directly transfer heat to the heat dissipation fins 101 without transmission through the main body 11, so the heat dissipation efficiency is greatly improved. Whether it is a high-frequency high-speed transmission cable module with a total data rate of 200G, 400G, or 800G, the heat dissipation means of the present invention is sufficient to maintain the control module 3 and one end of the cable at an appropriate temperature, preventing the IC chip of the control module 3 from reducing work efficiency, increasing the bit error rate and decreasing the transmission rate of the cable decreases.
FIGS. 4-7 are respectively a perspective view, an exploded view, a top view, and a side view of the upper cover 10 of the cover body of the high-frequency high-speed transmission cable module of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 5 , in a preferred embodiment, a support portion 114 protrudes from the inner sidewall of the through hole 113, and the support portion 114 divides the through hole 113 into an upper passage 1131 and a lower passage 1132, the upper passage 1131 runs through the top surface of the first end portion 111 of the main body 11, and the lower passage 1132 runs through the bottom surface of the first end portion 111 of the main body 11. The support portion 114 is disposed with a connecting passage 1141, and the connecting passage 1141 communicates with the upper passage 1131 and the lower passage 1132. As shown in FIG. 3 , FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 , the heat dissipation block 12 includes an upper portion 121, a middle portion 122 and a lower portion 123, the upper portion 121 is located in the upper passage 1131, the top surface of the upper portion 121 is exposed on the top surface of the first end portion 111 of the main body 11, the bottom surface of the edge portion of the upper portion 121 abuts against the top surface of the support portion 114, and the middle portion 122 is arranged on the bottom surface of the upper portion 121 and is also located in the connecting passage 1141. The lower portion 123 is arranged on the bottom surface of the middle portion 122 and is located in the lower passage 1132. The diameter of the upper portion 121 is larger than the diameter of the middle portion 122, and the diameter of the middle portion 122 is greater than the diameter of the lower portion 123. As shown in FIG. 3 , the control module 3 is located under the lower portion 123 of the heat dissipation block 12, and the top surface of the upper portion 121 contacts the heat dissipation fins 101. Thereby, the support portion 114 can support the upper portion 121 so that the heat dissipation block 12 an be easily installed in the through hole 113. Furthermore, the lower portion 123 is aligned with the control module 3 and its diameter is smaller than the diameter of the upper portion 121 and the diameter of the middle portion 122 so that it can quickly absorb the heat generated by the control module 3 during operation and improve the heat dissipation efficiency. In addition, the overall structure of the heat dissipation block 12 is in an inverted stepped shape, the topmost surface of the control module 3 has a diameter greater than the diameter of the lower portion 123 and a portion of the bottom surface of the middle portion 122 is exposed directly above the control module 3. As a result, the heat can be evenly diffused from part of the bottom surface of the middle portion 122 and the lower portion 123 to the upper portion 121 through the middle portion 122, thereby improving heat dissipation efficiency. Moreover, the top surface of the upper portion 121 has a larger contact area, so that the heat can be transferred to the heat dissipation fins 101 evenly and quickly, thereby improving heat dissipation efficiency.
As shown in FIGS. 4-7 , in a preferred embodiment, the second end portion 112 of the main body 11 is disposed with a plurality of grooves 115. The heat generated during the operation of the control module 3 will also be absorbed by the first end portion 111 of the main body 11, and the first end portion 111 of the main body 11 will transfer the heat to the second end portion 112 of the main body 11. The grooves 115 provide a larger heat dissipation area, so that the airflow passing through the grooves 115 can carry more heat away and improve the heat dissipation efficiency.
As shown in FIG. 4 , in a preferred embodiment, the top surface of the second end portion 112 of the main body 11 is higher than the top surface of the first end portion 111 of the main body 11. Therefore, the second end portion 112 of the main body 11 has sufficient thickness to form the grooves 115, and the second end portion 112 of the main body 11 can provide a sufficient internal space for accommodating one end of the cable.
As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 7 , in a preferred embodiment, the two sides along the length direction of the main body 11 are respectively defined as a first side 1101 and a second side 1102. The groove 1151 closest to the first side 1101 of the main body 11 has a depth D1 and the groove 1151 closest to the second side 1102 of the main body 11 also has a depth D1, and D1 is smaller than the depth D2 of the remaining grooves 1152. More specifically, the depth D1 of the groove 1151 closest to the first side 1101 of the main body 11 and the depth D1 of the groove 1151 closest to the second side 1102 of the main body 11 must not be too deep, otherwise the thickness of the first side 1101 of the main body 11 and the thickness of the second side 1102 will not be enough to combine with the first side and the second side of the lower cover 20 respectively. Therefore, the depth D1 of the groove 1151 closest to the first side 1101 of the main body 11 and the depth D1 of the groove 1151 closest to the second side 1102 of the main body needs to be made shallow so that the first side 1101 and the second side 1102 of the main body 11 have enough thickness to combine with the first side and the second side of the lower cover 20 respectively.
Since the depth D2 of the remaining grooves 1152 will affect the heat dissipation efficiency and the internal space of the second end portion 112 of the main body 11, the present invention conducted a test for heat dissipation efficiency, and the test results are described as follows.
Test condition I: the depth D2 of the remaining grooves 1152 is less than 1.5 mm. Pros: the depth D2 allows the internal space of the second end portion 112 of the main body 11 to have sufficient height, without causing internal interference, and without excessive pressure on one end of the cable. Cons: The depth D2 will cause insufficient heat dissipation area, reduce heat dissipation efficiency, increase the risk of lower working efficiency of the IC chip of the control module 3, increase bit error rate, and decrease the transmission rate of the cable.
Test condition II: the depth D2 of the remaining grooves 1152 is greater than 1.5 mm. Pros: The depth D2 can increase the heat dissipation area and improve the heat dissipation efficiency. Cons: the depth D2 will compress the height of the internal space of the second end portion 112 of the main body 11, causing internal interference, and even over-pressing one end of the cable.
Test condition III: the depth D2 of the remaining grooves 1152 is 1.5 mm. Pros: the depth D2 allows the internal space of the second end portion 112 of the main body 11 to have a sufficient height, without causing internal interference, and without excessive pressure on one end of the cable; and the depth D2 can increase the heat dissipation area and improve the heat dissipation efficiency. In other words, the test condition III can have the advantages of the test condition I and the test condition II at the same time without the disadvantages of the test condition I and the test condition II, and the efficacy is good.
As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 6 , in a preferred embodiment, a partition 116 is disposed between two adjacent grooves 115, and the partition 116 has a plurality of protrusions 1161. These protrusions 1161 respectively protrude from both sides of the partition 116. Thereby, the protrusions 1161 can increase the heat dissipation area of the partition 116 and improve the heat dissipation efficiency. Preferably, the positions of the plurality of protrusions 1161 of the two adjacent partitions 116 are staggered, so as to prevent the plurality of protrusions 1161 of the two adjacent partitions 116 from being too close to hinder the airflow, thereby affecting the heat dissipation efficiency. Preferably, the protrusions 1161 are arranged in pairs, for easy manufacturing.
As shown in FIG. 1 , in a preferred embodiment, the grooves 115 are parallel to the length direction of the main body 11 and the length direction of the heat dissipation fins 101. Accordingly, the airflow can flow along the grooves 115 and a plurality of channels 1011 of the heat dissipation fins 101 to improve heat dissipation efficiency.
In a preferred embodiment, the heat dissipation block 12 is made of copper. However, it is not limited thereto, and the material of the heat dissipation block can be any material with high thermal conductivity.
The high-frequency high-speed transmission cable module shown in the aforementioned figures is a quad small form-factor pluggable-double density (QSFP-DD) transceiver. However, it is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the high-frequency high-speed transmission cable module may also be a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver, a quad small form-factor pluggable, (QSFP) transceiver, or an octal small form-factor pluggable (OSFP) transceiver. The above-mentioned high-frequency high-speed transmission cable modules are all hot-swappable high-frequency high-speed transmission cable modules.
FIG. 8 is a comparison chart of the test results between the present invention and the conventional technology under the condition that the ambient temperature is 25° C. and the fan speed is 20 RPM. Tj1 is the core temperature of the IC chip of the control module of a conventional high-frequency high-speed transmission cable module, Tj2 is the core temperature of the IC chip of the control module 3 of the high-frequency high-speed transmission cable module of the present invention, Tb1 is the temperature of a measurement point P1 of the heat dissipation block of the upper cover of the high-frequency high-speed transmission cable module of the present invention, Tb2 is the temperature of the first end portion of the main body of the upper cover of the conventional high-frequency high-speed transmission cable module, and Tb3, is the temperature at a measuring point P2 at the first end portion of the main body of the upper cover of the high-frequency high-speed transmission cable module of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 8 , Tj1>Tj2, and Tb1>Tb2>Tb3. The above results show that under the conditions of an ambient temperature of 25° C. and a fan speed of 20 RPM, the heat dissipation efficiency of the present invention is significantly better than that of the conventional technology.
More specifically, as shown in FIG. 8 , during the start-up period (i.e., before 2 minutes and 53 seconds), the core temperature of the IC chip is still rising because the heat generated by the control module is still accumulating. At this time, Tj1−Tj2≥2° C., the difference between Tb1 and Tb2 is larger, and the difference between Tb2 and Tb3 is smaller. As shown in FIG. 8 , during the equilibrium period (i.e., after 14 minutes and 24 seconds), the core temperature of the IC chip will not rise again because the heat generated during the operation of the control module reaches the equilibrium state. At this time, Tj1−Tj2≥4° C., the difference between Tb1 and Tb2 is smaller (Tb1−Tb2≥1° C.), and the difference between Tb2 and Tb3 is larger.
FIG. 9 is a comparison chart of the test results between the present invention and the conventional technology under the condition that the ambient temperature is 55° C. and the fan speed is 20 RPM. Tj1 is the core temperature of the IC chip of the control module of the conventional high-frequency high-speed transmission cable module, Tj2 is the core temperature of the IC chip of the control module 3 of the high-frequency high-speed transmission cable module of the present invention, Tb1 is the temperature of the measurement point P1 of the heat dissipation block of the upper cover of the high-frequency high-speed transmission cable module of the present invention, Tb2 is the temperature of the first end portion of the main body of the upper cover of the conventional high-frequency high-speed transmission cable module, and Tb3 is the temperature at the measuring point P2 at the first end portion of the main body of the upper cover of the high-frequency high-speed transmission cable module of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 9 , Tj1>Tj2, and Tb1>Tb2>Tb3. The above results show that under the conditions of an ambient temperature of 55° C. and a fan speed of 20 RPM, the heat dissipation efficiency of the present invention is significantly better than that of the conventional technology.
More specifically, as shown in FIG. 9 , during the start-up period (i.e., before 7 minutes and 12 seconds), the core temperature of the IC chip is still rising because the heat generated by the control module is still accumulating. At this time, Tj1−Tj2≥2° C., the difference between Tb1 and Tb2 is larger, and the difference between Tb2 and Tb3 is smaller. As shown in FIG. 9 , during the equilibrium period (i.e., after 21 minutes and 36 seconds), since the heat generated during the operation of the control module reaches an equilibrium state, the core temperature of the IC chip will not rise again. At this time, Tj1−Tj2≥3.5° C., the difference between Tb1 and Tb2 is smaller (Tb1−Tb2≥1° C.), and the difference between Tb2 and Tb3 is larger.
In addition, when Tb2 is fixed at 70° C. and the fan speed is 24 RPM, Tj1 is 98° C.; when Tb1 is fixed at 70° C. and the fan speed is 30 RPM, Tj2 is 92° C. At this time, Tj1>Tj2. The above results show that the heat dissipation efficiency of the present invention is clearly better than that of the conventional technology under the condition that the temperature of the measurement point is fixed at 70° C.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments thereof, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that a variety of modifications and changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention which is intended to be defined by the appended claims.
